				<h2>What is this?</h2>
			
				<p>
					<a href="http://github.com/michenriksen/css3buttons" title="Go to GitHub repository">CSS3 buttons</a> is a simple <em>framework</em>
					for creating good-looking GitHub style button links. 	
				</p>
			</section>
		
			<section class="even">
				<h2>Buttons</h2>
			
				<p>To create a button, the only thing you have to do is this:</p>
			
				<article class="example">
					<h3>Code:</h3>
					<pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>This is a Button<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>
					</pre>
			
					<h3>Result:</h3>
					<div class="result">
						<a href="javascript:void(false)" class="button">This is a Button</a>
					</div>
				</article>

        <p>You can also use the button tag:</p>

        <article class="example">
          <h3>Code:</h3>
          <pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>button</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>button</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>This is a Button<span style='color:#fb8400; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>button</span><span style='color:#fb8400; '>></span>
          </pre>

          <h3>Result:</h3>
          <div class="result">
            <button class="button">This is a Button</button>
          </div>
        </article>
				
				<p>If you prefer a pill-like button with more rounded corners, you can add a <code>.pill</code> class to the button</p>
				
				<article class="example">
					<h3>Code:</h3>
					<pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"pill button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>This is a Pill Button<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>
					</pre>
			
					<h3>Result:</h3>
					<div class="result">
            <a href="javascript:void(false)" class="pill button">This is a Pill Button</a>
					</div>
				</article>
				
				<p>
					Sometimes when you have multiple buttons, it's considered good practice to highlight the button with the primary action in order to give
					the user a visual clue of what action to take if in doubt. This can be accomplished by adding a <code>.primary</code> class 
					to the button
				</p>
				
				<article class="example">
					<h3>Code:</h3>
					<pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"primary button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>Publish Post<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span> or <span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>Save as Draft<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>
					</pre>

				</article>

				<h2>Buttons with negative actions</h2>
				
				<p>
					If you have a button that triggers a <em>negative</em> action, like deleting data, it's good practice to warn the user by 
					styling the button differently than the normal buttons. Give a button the class <code>.negative</code> and the hover-state
					will change to red
				</p>
				
				<article class="example">
					<h3>Code:</h3>
					<pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"negative button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>Divide by Zero<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>
					</pre>
					
					<h3>Result:</h3>
					<div class="result">
            <a href="javascript:alert('You son of a bitch!\n\nYou just divided by zero, didn\'t you?')" class="negative button">Divide by Zero</a>
					</div>
				</article>
			</section>

      <section class="even">
        <h2>Buttons with positive actions</h2>

        <p>
          If you have a button that triggers an action you want to encourage your users to do, you can give a button a <code>.positive</code> class
          and the hover-state will change to green
        </p>

        <article class="example">
          <h3>Code:</h3>
          <pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>#</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>positive button</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>Save the World<span style='color:#fb8400; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#fb8400; '>></span>

				<h2>Grouped buttons</h2>
				
				<p>
					You can create grouped buttons that are linked together, like seen at <a href="http://www.gmail.com">Gmail</a> and other places, by using the <code>.left</code>, <code>.middle</code> and <code>.right</code> classes:
				</p>
				
				<article class="example">
					<h3>Code:</h3>
<pre class="code"><span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span> href<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"#"</span> class<span style='color:#d2cd86; '>=</span><span style='color:#00c4c4; '>"left primary button"</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>Archive<span style='color:#ff8906; '>&lt;/</span><span style='color:#e66170; font-weight:bold; '>a</span><span style='color:#ff8906; '>></span>

					You can also add the pill class to grouped buttons if preferred:

				<h2>Buttons with icons</h2>

					CSS3 Buttons supports a wide range of icons that can easily be added to any button by adding a <code>span</code> tag inside the anchor tag
